Flashing green light - a signal of a crisis in American comics?

Looking at the poster, I thought this "Green Lantern" was very handsome, but after watching it, I found out that the film needs a plot but no plot, no acting skills, and special effects. The ugly, the stupid, the second, the characters have no character at all. Worst of all, the audience was expecting a good fight scene, but the film was so long before the final battle was fleeting like a shooting star. Moreover, the battle between the protagonist and the enemy is too routine, and it does not show a bit of the hero's ability characteristics. It has to be said that it is extremely disappointing.

Look at the recent film adaptations of American comics, from "X-Men - First World War" to "Thor", to Shield Brother "Captain America", to this "Green Lantern", and the future "The Avengers", I feel that the mass production of American comic hero movies is incessant, but the increase in quantity has not brought about an increase in quality, but a continuous decline, which has to make people worry about the future of American comic hero movies . How should American comic hero movies go down the road of adaptation? I think we should refer to the previous "Spider-Man", the classic "Batman Prequel" series in the classics, and then to the "King Bian King" that subverts the traditional hero movie model. , from trying to shape the characteristics of the characters, to enriching the connotation and meaning of the story, and finally adding the subversion of the traditional story mode, maybe these elements are the direction that American comic hero movies should choose to expand in the future, rather than one by one now, redundant and redundant Bland, nothing new, a simple business model that simply increases volume.

Needless to say, "Batman Prequel 3" will be released in the future. I believe that Nolan will not let me down. As for "The Avengers", personally not optimistic.

    It's another film asking for the earth, watched for the sake of the alliance.

    It's hard to understand that the box office of this film is better than the first battle. I have always disliked Ryan, with a faceless face and a heartless sunshine. But I haven't seen such a beautiful heroine in a movie for a long time. A closer look is the protagonist of "Gossip Girl", hey, legal affairs, crime fans haven't seen this famous drama, DC still wants Nolan's Batman to save face after all.

Green Lantern quotes

  • [last words]

    Abin Sur: The ring, it chose you. Take it... place the ring on the lantern... place the ring, speak the oath... great honor... responsibility.

  • Sinestro: Though his time wearing the ring has has been brief, Hal Jordan's defeat of Parallax will be remembered as long as the Corps exists. His actions are a reminder of why the ring chose each of us - to overcome fear, and destroy evil wherever it may hide. As Lanterns we must fight with all our will. Our wills have not always been united. It's time they were.
